Vegan means no animal products whatsoever. No eggs, no milk, no butter. Seems hard to make a yummy cake without any of those ingredients, right? Well, I’m here to tell you that I’ve found the be-all-end-all of vegan cupcake recipes. One that will please vegans and carnivores alike.
numero uno: Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Frosting–I used the vanilla cake recipe below and topped them with a vanilla bean frosting and a fresh raspberry. About the frostings, I made these in such huge quantities that I don’t have exact measurements but here’s what went into the frosting: coconut oil, vegan shortening, butter extract, vanilla extract, vanilla beans and powdered sugar.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Earth Balance or other vegan butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup soy milk + 1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
